URGENT HELP NEEDED! car rpm going up and down
I dunno what happened but i smell somethign burning in the engine bay,
I started the car and acouple seconds later it died!
i disconnected my catch can line to the intake manifold and then my rpms shot up to 4 k rpm then down then back up and down and up...
only thing i did different today was drive with the windows open and blast my stereo
could it be vacuum?
alternator?
or anything else?

thanks for your help guys
i think what happened was the line fro the catch can to the intake manifold collapsed from my investigation and as soon as i unflattened it, it fixed the problem!!!
but at least i learned that what i thought was a code14 for the longest time was a code 1 O2 issue which i will take care of!

Re: (igo4bmx)
Do you guys read at all? He said he fixed it. Why keep bumping a dead thread where the problem has been solved. His line to his catch can had flattened out.
